(CNN) Canada could start allowing fully vaccinated US citizens and permanent residents on non-essential travel into the country by mid August, according to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. In a call Thursday with Canada's provincial and territorial premiers, Trudeau also said Canada could potentially open to fully vaccinated travelers in all countries by early September if the current vaccination trend continues. The US and Canada mutually agreed to shut down the border in March 2020 as the coronavirus pandemic was just beginning. Canada is largely off limits to US travelers. Stringent testing and quarantine measures are in place for travelers arriving by air and land.
